The Russian-Ukrainian War of 2022 (News and battle updates)

[Ember]

Chechen troops clearing the residential areas in Mariupol and escorting civilians from out of basements to safety.

Our fighters are liberating building after building in Mariupol. Yes, it's not happening as fast as everyone would like. But in every apartment and in every basement there may be civilians and children, so our fighters are in no hurry. The residents of Azov take advantage of this, occupy the upper floors of residential buildings to then accuse Russian troops of shooting at civilians, merge with local residents, change into civilian clothes, then shamefully escape.

These shots show the release from the danger zone of families with children who spent several days in the basement. Their lives are now in no danger.

Here and there you can find torn chevrons of Azov and other Nazis lying on the ground. Do they think that we will look for them by military insignia? Naive! Your lists with names, photos and addresses have been with us for a long time!
Run, Bandera! Sparkle your heels!

Mariupol's residents are checked for tattoos to screen out AZOV fighters.

Residents of Mariupol leave the city through the checkpoints of the Russian military.

People are asked to show a residence permit, and if it is not there, they inspect the car. But this is not uncommon.

“[We are being searched] for the Nazi swastika and other indecency. I agree, we have such [nationalists] in half the city, especially young people who are stupid ... in spiders and crosses, ”says a resident of the liberated city.

Just yesterday, the infected were exposed by 12 members of the National Battalion, who dressed as civilians.

There are also those Mariupol residents who decided to stay: their apartments and houses survived, so now, when they can freely go free, they stock up on food in the remaining warehouses.

The American baphomet mercenary squad aka Forward Observation Group apparently bailing out after taking heavy losses:



First part of the video talks about Bolsonaro talking with Putin about buying Russian nuclear-powered subs, which would be a huge step for Brazil in terms of their relations with Russia.

Truthfully, the American military hasn’t fought a conventional military in 80 years. This time however, they’re playing as the insurgents and are being dealt the same blows they dealt in Iraq and Afghanistan. The shoe is on the other foot.

Sort of glossing over the Invasion of Iraq? Those were conventional forces during the initial push, though overwhelmingly under equipped and not capable of doing much once we established a no fly zone and destroyed anything that looked remotely like a .mil target and infrastructure disabling warfare. .... which is not what the Russians are doing in most cases here.

I was part of the invasion of Iraq part deux. Sure, they were “conventional” the same way a peewee football team is conventional. Big difference being that we’re a pro team. Another difference is that Americans are going to be playing against a pro team this time. No more peewee football teams to run roughshod over anymore. This is the big leagues now and everyone not on the team is wanting to see the big game.

Shoot, the Russian team is playing against arguably a higher level team than the peewee team America had the most recent experience with. The Ukrainians are a high school JV team compared to the Iraqis.

They don't get this. Go on Facebook and look for the "Officer's Club" group. The discussions there are utterly asinine and the American military have all convinced themselves that the Russians are a trivial pushover. They also actually believe that Russia is losing the war, and is completely desperate.

Fair, I was making the point that Russia is taking a more combined approach of diplomacy then strikes/fighting then more diplomacy then striks/fighting ect... Compared to the US approach which is more along the total war approach..

As far as conventional forces, I think US+NATO would prevail against Russia, Putin has said as much that his forces are less than the combined might of NATO. I just don't see NATO/US and Russia ever duking it out because the end result will be nuclear war.

Russia, with their hypersonic missiles and S400 does have many capabilities we have yet to see evaluated against the US/NATO forces, but pretending that they are not a formidable force is foolish. Further, I would suspect if Russia ever got into it with NATO, China would come to the aid of Russia.

Also check out "This aint hell" All these vets seem to drink the coolaid that Russia is in retreat and losing this in spite of the obvious fact that they are just fighting the war in a less total war manner than what we in the US do in an invasion. When you point this out they accuse you of being influenced by Russian propaganda.... so you cant even have an intelligent discussion with these people. Its a pretty sad state of affairs... but as you know... many people above Col in the .mil drink the "Russia bad" coolaid and many of the boomercon vets still think Russia is the Soveit Union. There seems to be a disconnect among those groups that the forces Russia is using now is presumably their elite according to those groups, when in fact it seems that many of these units are a hodge podge of conscripts or regular soldiers, as well as more elite forces.

The OSINT Twitter channel is the worst.

French merc cries over the fact his base has been bombed and his buddies killed, flies back home:

It's pretty obvious that any Ukrainian forces that attempted to stand and fight got smashed, and all that is left is the ones they know that they're getting tried, hung, and killed by the Russians when found are fighting to the death, and doing all they can to blend in and use propaganda to try to drag the West and especially dumb asses over here into a full fledged WWIII. There is obvious written history that many in the Western Ukraine joined the Wehrmacht willingly in WWII, and I have no doubt some of that fascist era mental state is still there...

All of this is a psy-ops. First war being fought really not just on the ground, but by who controls the global media narrative. When you see so much of South America, Central America, Africa, India, South East Asia, China, etc still keeping ties with Russia, and it really only being the U.S., Canada, Austalia, England, Western Europe and so on being all in on the destruction and the break-up/corruption by the West plans toward Russia, then it really is dividing this world into two camps. Sucks being stuck in this one.

 

[It_is_my_time]

Soy boys, career wahman, diversity hires, and the other DNC voters are going to be very upset when the shaming language no longer works.

 

[MRBR1908]

I'm guessing China only gives a crap about how they appear in the Chinese history books, not the ones taught to soy boys in the U.S.A.

It's pretty obvious that you have no clue what you're talking about or your a Russian disinformation agent. Making virtually no progress in your strategic objectives after 3 weeks while getting thousands of Javelins and Stingers shoved up your @$$, foreign leaders visiting the key military target city while it's under siege to offer support, your KGB agent leader seething about "traitors", and thousands of your soldiers being killed or captured (including numerous generals and commanding officers) while conducting the sloppiest operations in modern warfare, isn't a winning strategy.

 

[MRBR1908]

LMAO, yeah, a Russian disinformation agent who served in the eighties with Reagan as President and was pure anti-Soviet. Dumb ass.

Have you ever seen the movie "Wag the Dog," if not what we are seeing now is a real live version of it.

By the way great job parroting the MSM back at me, thanks, I see it every day in the news being shoved in my face and told it's real. I trust the MSM like I trust Joe Biden, not one bit.

I know I've heard much about the Polish hatred for Russia in recent days, but that it got to the point that you're saying literally the exact same things CNN says is a little worrying.

Don't forget the Ghost of Kyyyyiiiivvvvv. Honk. Honk.

The Russians are making rapid progress. Real life rapid, not internet rapid. If Kiev were 'under siege' the Russians would have cutoff water, power, food, and internet into the city. They have chosen not to do so.

Please stay in California.

 

[DRIIIVER]

once we established a no fly zone and destroyed anything that looked remotely like a .mil target

only someone in the military would say something like this. “.mil target” had me dying. Lmao

I’m in Warsaw, where 300,000 refugees have arrived to escape Russian barbarism, where are you general? Trust the plan, the Russians will pull the trigger and carry out complex combined arms operations (even though they’ve demonstrated no ability to do so) any second now. Their fuel tanks and supply trucks are so full, operational and not blown to smithereens, that they just need to lighten them up before the Blitzkrieg late this summer.

Warsaw aint too far off from being California

I don’t watch CNN, maybe they’re just ripping off Polish TV? So when someone breaks into your neighbors house and starts murdering their family and lighting the house on fire, and you say STOP, that’s „hate”? That’s some logic there. I’m sorry for the Russians that they have such evil leaders and they’ve never shed their slave mindset. The smart ones seem to have already left that God-forsaken land.

It’s 99% white, safe, clean, relatively inexpensive, filled with beautiful Polish and Ukrainian women, and you don’t get shoved in jail for 15 years for criticizing Putin, sounds like hell doesn’t it?
